    Why don't Sergio call out Andre Ward instead two small guys. Dude is a middleweight for crying out loud.

    Sergio is a big fraud. He walk around over 170lbs and wants to fight smaller guys instead fighting Andre Ward.

    By the way, Andre Ward would destroy Sergio.

    People still getting excited over something as meaningless as a call-out.

    "Oh, that must mean they really want to fight them bad!!".

    Aaron Pryor called out Sugar Ray Leonard and crashed his press conference. What happened when Leonard offered Pryor a career high payday?

    Pryor wanted more money.

    A career high payday is pretty meaningless if it's less than what you feel you should get paid for the fight.

    Talking about whom you want to fight and talking trash is a more entertaining interview, but ultimately means nothing unless they back it up with a pen and signature.

    Miguel Cotto always gave the boring old "talk to my management" answer. From 2007-on, he fought Mosley, Margarito, Clottey, Pacquiao, Mayweather, and now Martinez. Manny Pacquiao has always given that same boring answer. Take a look at his resume throughout his career.
